Introducing Angelina Jordan, the sensational singer from Norway who captured hearts and won Norway’s Got Talent at the tender age of eight! Imagine the awe of being exceptionally gifted at such a young age, where your talent propels you onto the global stage, like appearing on America’s Got Talent: The Champions at just 14.
Born Angelina Jordan Astar on January 10, 2006, in Oslo, Norway, her multicultural heritage—Swedish, Norwegian, Iranian, and Japanese—adds depth to her captivating features. Growing up, Angelina shared her musical journey with her younger sister Juliette, with whom she’s even collaborated on YouTube.
Inspired by legends like Whitney Houston, Billie Holiday, and Dinah Washington, Angelina’s musical journey began at a mere one-and-a-half years old when she was mesmerized by Whitney Houston’s rendition of “I Will Always Love You” on YouTube. Encouraged by her early success, she pursued singing, receiving formal training in piano, vocals, and mastering instruments like the violin, guitar, and flute.
Angelina’s rise to stardom began when she auditioned for Norway’s Got Talent at age seven, stunning judges with her rendition of Billie Holiday’s “Gloomy Sunday.” Her captivating performance went viral, amassing over 20 million views on YouTube, leading her to clinch victory with an impressive 46% of the votes.
Beyond her talent, Angelina’s philanthropic spirit shines through. At just six years old, she selflessly gave her shoes to a homeless girl, vowing to perform barefoot until every child had footwear. This noble act led to her becoming Norway’s youngest published author, sharing her story and commitment to charity.
Since then, Angelina’s star has continued to ascend. From performing at the Nobel Peace Prize Concert to appearing in Netflix’s Lilyhammer, her talent has earned global recognition. Her rendition of Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody” on America’s Got Talent: The Champions earned accolades from the band themselves, a testament to her remarkable talent.
In 2016, Angelina’s enchanting vocals graced Avicii’s Volvo advert, covering Nina Simone’s “Feeling Good,” captivating audiences worldwide. Now signed with Republic Records, her future in music looks promising, promising more soul-stirring melodies from this gifted young artist.
